๐งต1/ New @BoneJointJ: Combining four PROM instruments into a common metric CAT.
In this paper, we combined 4 common PROMs:
* Oxford Knee Score (OKS)
* OKS Activity & Participation Questionnaire (OKS-APQ)
* Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)
* High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS)
Thanks @BOSTAA_UK for highlighting our latest research.
๐ 46 studies used to assess the recovery trajectory of microfracture, cell expansion therapies (ACI/mACI) and scaffold-based therapy (AMIC).
โ Microfracture:
Peak improvement at 12 months, sustained to 60 months for most scores, except for VAS, KOOS-Pain, Symptoms, and Sport
โ Cell expansion therapies:
Large improvements seen, plateauing around 24 months, with benefits maintained to 60 months โ except for Tegner.
It's a privilege to have been able to publish our large systematic review regarding the recovery trajectory of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures.
With thanks to my co-authors

Doctors received offers for Radiology training posts at around 3-4pm. They were able to accept these offers on Oriel and received confirmation of acceptance. Offers then began to disappear on Oriel. At 6:30pm they received this email.
Simply unacceptable.
While I support @RCPhysicians highlighting issue of Drs left out of training.
It very much looks likes this:

Great job by @VashistMotkur and @HaqOrtho in organising the Principles of fracture fixation course. Delegates from across the country came to learn and share knowledge through lectures & saw bone workshops. Thanks to our faculty & sponsors @TheBMA@the_mdu@HCSANews DepuySynthes

@RepportTrial is 100!!!! (101 actually..)
What a milestone- this trial is on fire!
Thanks to all the teams who have pulled together in an amazing way, such an important question and we are speeding towards an answer!

@parthaskar@BritOrthopaedic@bota_uk@ollie_townsend@OrthopodReg@RoshanaMN@RCPhysicians Thanks for sharing your insight. Helpful discussion points, and your experience with stakeholders/powers that be sounded rather frustrating! We need to get this right as a medical profession, and perhaps catch up/correct where thereโs been prior failure in medical leadership?
